How do you find a partner for your sims?
I am making a new family and thus a new story. I recently remade a few female townies based off of Avelinesims so need a few ideas on how to go through the process of elimination.

I try to set my sims up together but sometimes it doesn't end up that way.
I made a male sim for my sim and when she went over to his house to meet him, she ended up having more chemistry with his friend (that I also made). So, I just let that be and got them together instead and it's been super cute. They're married with a big family now and they are still super cute with each other. I also made a sim one time and she got along better with female sims than male sims and would autonomously flirt with females more, so I got her with a woman instead and they're happily married. If I have a single sim, I just look for other single sims or NPCs in the town or at the bar. I usually have them chat for a bit, try a few romantic interactions, see what works or doesn't work, etc. I also try to see if they look good together lol
For 'chemistry', I look for their autonomous actions. I just look at who they get along with better honestly. & They often perform more romantic interactions on their own, like kiss cheek, hold hands, kiss, dirty jokes, etc. Also, if the other sim rejects your advances after one or two times, even if they accepted it before, I usually take it as a sign that its a definite 'No' and move on to the next one lol During dates or outings, I just let them go with the flow, just to see what they would do.
For example, My sim's daughter went on a date with her long term boyfriend but he spent most of the time texting/playing on his phone or talking to other tables rather than sitting at his own table and interacting with my daughter. I kept having to chime in and make sure the date was going smoothly but it would go from flirty to awkward in like 5 seconds. He also had said something that upset her, I think he was trying to prank her or something. I don't think it helped that she was going through a phase either lol Even the romantic decor couldn't fix that convo. Needless to say, they broke up. My sim's son, on the other hand, went on a date with his long term girlfriend and they had the same spark they did when they first started dating. They held hands, joked around, tickled each other, looked in each other's eyes, kissed, took pictures with each other, and kissed each other's cheek often. They were able to get in flirty moods without me having to do much, except order their dinner, have them snuggle on a bench, or make sure they were not dying.
